By Dan Walsh at Enniscorthy Municipal District Council meeting
Every household has wheelie bin contracts with private companies, but Enniscorthy Municipal District Council has issues with the presentation of wheelie bins outside homes and taking them in afterwards in a reasonable time… and there is a suggestion that fines could be introduced!
Cllr John O’Rourke raised the issue at the recent meeting of Enniscorthy Municipal District Council, and he questioned the presence of wheelie bins on footpaths and the risk to injury to the visually impaired. He suggested that traffic wardens could be empowered to issue fines.
Cllr Jackser Owens had concerns about wheelie bins not collected for three weeks! He said they should be collected and emptied and suggested stickers saying ‘get wheelie bins off the streets.
And the old chestnut raised its head again! Fines for people who have no bins and that they be made available for inspections.
It didn’t emerge during the discussion, but the District Manager’s (Claire Lawless) Report contained the following. “Traffic cones placed on public roads by members of the public will be removed by the Enniscorthy Municipal District roads crew.
Individuals are not permitted to reserve parking spaces or obstruct public roads by placing traffic cones or other objects on the public road.
“25 traffic cones have been removed from the public road in recent days.
